Description:
On the secure-create-certs page in the reference manual the 1st example will create CA, server and client SSL/TLS certs.

Due to bug #59515 an extra verification step could make this information much more usefull.

An example of certificate verification:
$ cd mysql-5.5.8/mysql-test/std_data
$ openssl verify -CAfile cacert.pem server-cert.pem client-cert.pem 
server-cert.pem: OK
client-cert.pem: OK

How to repeat:
Read http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.5/en/secure-create-certs.html

Suggested fix:
--------------------------------------------------
# Verify the generated certificates
shell> openssl verify -CAfile ca-cert.pem server-cert.pem client-cert.pem
server-cert.pem: OK
client-cert.pem: OK
--------------------------------------------------
